    The hyper-normalization and gaslighting continues, and evolves.

    2010: I'm getting commercial ads relevant to my interests.
    - Yeah, right. As if you were so important that anyone would follow you through the entire internet.

    - It's your own fault for not installing an ad blocker.

    2026: I'm getting right-wing political videos in my feed.
    - It's your own fault for taking an interest in rage porn.
